Project description:Introduction and significanceSitus inversus totalis is characterized by the complete transposition of thoracic and abdominal viscera. Individuals can live asymptomatically with this condition; however, it may be associated with certain abnormalities of the organs involved.Case presentationHerein, we present a case of a situs inversus totalis woman presented with choledocholithiasis. Elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed on the patient with intraoperative modifications. The patient was discharged in a healthy condition.Clinical discussionSeveral case reports have documented the typical presentation of cholelithiasis, which is characterized by pain in the left upper quadrant and epigastric region. Our patient exhibited similar symptoms and was diagnosed with choledocholithiasis.ConclusionsDiagnostic and therapeutic management of morbidities in SIT individuals can be performed with recommended modifications that can lead to favorable outcomes.

Project description:Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare anatomical condition, where all the viscera appear in its reverse position. Although minimally invasive surgery has evolved to achieve totally laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients with SIT, it is difficult to perform lymphadenectomy in such a transposed anatomical condition. Recently, we performed a single-port laparoscopic total gastrectomy (SPTG) for gastric cancer in a patient with SIT. No postoperative complications or dietary problems were observed. Based on this experience, we are to design a safe strategy to perform D2 lymphadenectomy during SPTG in patients with SIT.

Project description:BackgroundSitus inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital disease with a series of clinical features characterized by a mirror image distribution of the viscera to the normal anatomy.Case presentationThis study aims to report a 63-year-old male SIT patient with gastric cancer with a preoperative diagnosis of stage IIB gastric cancer (cT3N0M0), who underwent a preoperative multi-disciplinary treatment (MDT) discussion and an abdominal enhancement CT for visceral evaluation to ensure a successful operation. A laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy including D2 lymph node dissection and Billroth I reconstruction was successfully performed. Laparoscopic radical gastric gastrectomy and D2 lymph node dissection were performed through the opposite surgical station to the conventional one, followed by digestive tract reconstruction under small incision-assisted direct vision. There was less blood loss throughout the operation, no postoperative complications, and the patient was discharged successfully 10 days after surgery. Histopathological examination showed ulcerated high-medium differentiated adenocarcinoma stage IB (PT2N0M0). There were no complications or tumor recurrence in the patient with examination 6 months after the operation.ConclusionSurgery in a patient with gastric cancer and SIT can be safely performed by the application of 3D laparoscopy and small incisions to assist the digestive tract reconstruction under direct vision.

Project description:BackgroundSitus inversus totalis (SIT) is an uncommon disorder characterized by mirror-image anatomy, which can present unique challenges and potential vascular anomalies in surgical interventions, particularly in gastric cancer patients.AimsWe aim to delineate a rare case of gastric adenocarcinoma in a SIT patient and conduct a thorough review of the existing literature concerning surgical strategies, vascular anomalies, and outcomes observed across varied geographic locales and technological approaches.MethodsA thorough examination of a case involving a 39-year-old male SIT patient who underwent a successful distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection is presented alongside an expansive literature review. The review encompasses 47 articles, collating data on surgical approaches and vascular anomalies across 49 patients diagnosed with SIT and gastric cancer.ResultsThe patient underwent curative distal gastrectomy and Billroth II with Braun anastomosis within 95 minutes, incurring minimal intraoperative blood loss (100ml). Postoperative pathology confirmed moderately to poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma (pT3N0M0), with no signs of recurrence or metastasis after 6 months of S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy. The literature review revealed vascular anomalies in approximately 20% of reported cases, accentuating its surgical significance. Noteworthy variations in surgical strategies, operative times, blood loss, and complications across different surgical modalities were observed, providing a comprehensive view into the practical management of such cases.ConclusionDespite the inherent challenges associated with SIT, various surgical techniques can be successfully applied with meticulous preoperative planning and understanding vascular anomalies. This compilation of diverse surgical experiences across numerous documented cases seeks to provide a consolidated resource for refining surgical strategies and enhancing postoperative outcomes for gastric cancer patients with SIT, underscoring the imperativeness of further research in this niche domain.

Project description:Lung cancer and situs inversus totalis are two completely irrelevant conditions. The likelihood of both conditions occurring simultaneously in one person is very rare. We report here a case of a 50-year-old man who presented with intermittent chest pain. Enhanced computed tomography of the chest showed situs inversus totalis and a round mediastinal mass embracing the thoracic aorta. The primary diagnosis was suggested as pseudo aortic dissecting aneurysm. However, a tumor in the right lower lung was discovered during surgery, which enclosed and invaded the thoracic aorta. Finally, the patient successfully underwent right lower lobectomy accompanied by lymph node excision and partial replacement of the thoracic aorta with an artificial vascular graft under cardio-pulmonary bypass.

Project description:We report a rare case of incomplete congenital duodenal obstruction (Type 1 duodenal atresia) in association with situs inversus totalis presenting with gastric perforation in a neonate. The infantogram was suggestive of perforation with air under diaphragm along with dextrocardia. On exploration, a pin point perforation at fundus near lesser curvature along with situs inversus was noted. Primary closure of gastric perforation was done. Patient was then discharged on full breast feeds but was readmitted with intolerance to feeds and recurrent bilious vomiting. Further, upper GI contrast study revealed partial duodenal obstruction. On re-exploration, duodenal web with central aperture was seen and duodeno-duodenostomy was done.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Situs inversus is a rare congenital anomlay in which the thoracic and abdominal organs are sited on the opposite side to that of normal anatomy. Its etiology is still unknown. It is classified into situs inversus partialis and situs inversus totalis. It is discovered incidentally in most cases. Any surgical intervention for such patients may encounter intra-operative technical difficulties due to anatomical differences, particularly if a laparoscopic approach is adopted, as in bariatric surgeries where the obesity itself opposes an added surgical challenge. CASE PRESENTATION:A female patient with a BMI of 52.1?Kg/m2 was being prepared for biliopancreatic diversion. She was diagnosed incidentally as having situs inversus totalis during the preoperative evaluation. She underwent an uneventful laparoscopic biliopancreatic diversion. She was followed up regularly in the bariatric surgery clinic for 9 years. Her last BMI was 29?Kg /m2 with no signs or symptoms of metabolic complications. CONCLUSION:This case report demonstrates that biliopancreatic diversion can be done safely in morbidly obese patients with situs inversus by an experienced bariatric surgeon in a specialized well-equipped center.

Project description:Situs inversus, an uncommon disorder, causes the orientation of asymmetric organs to be opposite to that of normal anatomy. It can be either partial, affecting only the thoracic or abdominal cavities, or full, involving the transposition of both the thoracic and abdominal organs. A 31-year-old Ethiopian male patient presented with migratory abdominal pain in the left lower quadrant for 3 days. Associated with the pain, he experienced symptoms of nausea, vomiting of ingested matter, and loss of appetite. Investigations were consistent with left-sided appendicitis with situs inversus totalis. Therefore, the patient was operated on and discharged with no perioperative complications. Appendicitis is a rare cause of left lower quadrant pain. In order to reduce the delay in patient treatment and avoidable perioperative complications, emergency physicians, radiologists, and surgeons must become more knowledgeable about situs inversus and left side appendicitis.

Project description:Implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device in patients with congenital heart disease may be challenging because of the particular underlying anatomy. We present the case of a right-sided transvenous implantation of a dual-chamber CRT-D device in a patient with situs inversus totalis and mirror image dextrocardia. To facilitate our anatomic orientation and to overcome unusual hand-eye coordination problems, we decided to flip the fluoroscopic image projection by 180° (right-left), creating the optical impression of a "normalized" heart position (levocardia). This simple approach allowed us to successfully implant the device using a conventional left-sided CRT delivery system.

Project description:We investigated the cause of situs inversus totalis (SIT) in two siblings from a consanguineous family. Genotyping and whole-exome analysis revealed a homozygous change in NME7, resulting in deletion of an exon causing an in-frame deletion of 34 amino acids located in the second NDK domain of the protein and segregated with the defective lateralization in the family. NME7 is an important developmental gene, and NME7 protein is a component of the γ-tubulin ring complex. This mutation is predicted to affect the interaction of NME7 protein with this complex as it deletes the amino acids crucial for the binding. SIT associated with homozygous deletion in our patients is in line with Nme7(-/-) mutant mice phenotypes consisting of congenital hydrocephalus and SIT, indicating a novel human laterality patterning role for NME7. Further cases are required to elaborate the full human phenotype associated with NME7 mutations.
